FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1961
RED AND GOLD
SPRING ELECTIONS «"""^
At last Friday's Student Affairs Committee meeting it was decided to
support red and gold as UAC's colors. The motion passed included a
provision to include green as a background color, in the event that
Edmonton, too, adopts a tricolor system.
The committee also vetoed a proposal to hold all elections in the
spring. A logical defense of fall elections propounded by Maurice
Yacowar and seconded by Abie Ukazaki led to the rejection. A majority
of Council members, all of whom serve on the committee, was unsuccessful in its attempts to push the proposal through.
At the same meeting Dr. Taylor,
who serves as chairman ofthe Student Affairs Committee, proposed that
a committee be set up to study the
p ossibility of a theme for the university, and the likelihood of changing
the names of The Gauntlet and Tal-
leystick or adapting a theme to fit
them both. It was decided to recommend that Council set up a committee
to study the matter.
Reports were read from themajor-
ity of UAC clubs and by the Council
members in charge of major committees and groups using a large
amount of student funds. The meeting concluded at about 6:20 p.m.
after four hours of discussion and
argument.
Xmas Cards
The sale of U. A. C. Christmas
cards will begin on Monday November 13 from 12:30 to 1:30 daily
in the hall outside the Wauneita
Lounge.
These cards are sponsored by the
Wauneita Society and feature
U.A.C.'s new colours — red, gold
and green. The cards sell at 10cents
each or one dozen for $1.00.
The supply is limited, so all are
advised to purchase their cards as
soon as possible.
Treasure Van
To Visit
The World University Service treasure van display will visit U.A.C.
from Monday November 13 to Friday November 17 in the recreation
room of the Arts and Education
Building, and will be open from
noon to 10:00 p.m. each day.
The van is organized annually in
each university by the local W. U.S.
committee in cooperation with the
national office. Richard Wall,
U.A.C. chairman of W.U.S., is in
charge of this year's visit.
Articles and handicrafts for sale
include purses, slippers, animal carvings, drums, jewellery and other
hand made items from countries
fhrought the world. Items of interest
featured for the first time include
cerimonial masks and drums from
Ghana, bean and olive wood necklaces from Israel, glass bead necklaces and flutes from Korea, damascene jewellery and swords from
Spain, carved Dala horses and roosters from Sweden, and steel drums,
machettes and "wife leaders" from
the West Indies.
The objectives of the van are to
develop an interest in the work of
native craftsmen in various parts
of the world: to raise the standard
of living of these craftsmen and their
families by providing a market for
their goods: to draw attention to the
international activities of W.U.S.,
and to raise funds for W. U.S. work.
Students, particularly attractive
coeds, who are interested in helping
with Treasure Van sales, please contact Richard Wall.
No Debate Today
Culture must wait on necessity, the
necessity, in this case, being the need
to study for mid-term exams. President Derek Swinson of the Debating
Society announced that there will be
*4o Debate Today A meeting had been
planned, but it was called off in order
to give students more time to devote
themselves to their university courses. "It was unfair," commented the
President, "to ask students to expend
valuable time preparing speeches in
the middle of test week."
The society will be active next week,
when a debate with a visiting Edmonton team will be held at 4:30 p.m.
on Friday (November 17). On the
following week, the merits of Christianity will be disputed.
Field Trip

attend the meeting as there will only
be room for a limited number of
students. Watch bulletin boards for
further information regarding the
meeting. Refreshments will be served.
GOD LOSES
At last week's meeting of the Philosophy Club, the discussion (originally on "The Definition of Sin")
got around to the existence of a
Supreme Deity. Four of those present though there was no God; one
believed in the existence of a God;
and five expressed no opinion.
Jottings
From Council
—BESSELL suggested that Council terminate the discussion on the
Cafeteria "because this isboring The
G auntlet reporter — Something like
the bisexuality of trees, now— That's
important!"
YACOWAR retorted: "It's not bisexuality — it's immorality on campus."
—At the beginning of the meeting,
YACOWAR remarked to us (aside):
"I'm ascared to say anything —
it's that time of year!"

in-waiting were Leslie Sanford, Engineering candidate, and Janice Cameron, first Education contestant
The Blue Mist Ball culminated a
hectic week of campaigning and merry-making for five beautiful girls at

COUNCIL HITS BACK
IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN
Because of certain implications in last week's Gauntlet editorials,
Council discussed (at the meeting of Nov. 6th) the controls it has over
Gauntlet policy. Members were advised that Council is, in essence,
responsible for all comments and editorials which appear in the Gauntlet
The only retributive action Council can take, it was brought out, is to
fir the editor (Alan Arthur). OKAZAKI reminded Council that it would
be unwise to impinge upon the Gauntlet's free expression of opinion.
YACOWAR maintained that the paper should have the right to criticize
anything Council does. GARDNER commenting on last week's editorials, was ofthe opinion that The Gauntlet is a "gossip column, a scandal
sheet. "
After some debate, Council decided to take no action. During the debate, BESSELL jokingly (1 hope) remarked that "There is nothing we
can do short of censorship - which might not be a bad idea. "
FELLOWS GRANTED LOAN
Bob Fellows was granted a loan of $250 to attend the Laval Canadian
Affairs seminar. The loan is to be paid back by January 31st, 1962.

IDIOTIC COMMITTEE
The matter of a Council representative for the Residences Committee
(voting) and the Grounds and Utilities Committee (non-voting) came
Up. BESSELLtermedthenon-voting
tommittees 'idiotic', and was substantiated by MULHOLLAND
Council's representative on the nonvoting Space Committee. MULHOLLAND declared that Council
members came to committee meetings only when invited, were not
allowed to be present when matters
of any seriousness were discussed,
and were only sent small portions
of the minutes of these meetings -
the minutes of the proceedings conducted when the Council representative is not there are deleted. This
situation was termed "disgusting",
and BESSELL expressed the opinion that these Committee meetings
are not worth going to.
COUNCIL SUGGESTS' EDITORIAL BOARD CHANGES
Council made two 'suggestions'
for changes in the framework of the
editorial board. This means that if
the suggested changes are not made
in the Gauntlet's constitution, the
constitution won't be approved by
Council. The suggested changes are:
( 1 ) Removal of the deadline for
editorial review (previously it was
12 hours; but this would severely
limit the scope of Gauntlet editorials,
and prevent editorial comments on
Monday night council meetings from
appearing in the Following Friday's
Gauntlet). This change was approved by the Gauntleteers present.
( 2 ) Lop a Gauntleteer off the editorial board and replace him (The
Assistant Editor, a position presently
held by David Surplis) with a member of the student body.
OKAZAKI's allegiance to Council
(as a member ofthe Editorial Board)
was mentioned during the debate.
" If you try to cut yourself off like
that, you'll have a nervous breakdown before you're 19" declared
YACOWAR, commenting on OKAZAKI's denyal of personal opinions in his unstinting allegiance to
Council as a member ofthe Board.
THEME DISCUSSED
"Why should we have a common
theme? Edmonton doesn't have a
common theme," a Councillor re
marked, reacting to TAYLOR'S suggestion that Council set up a Committee to decide upon a theme for
UAC. "I object!" MELANSON declared. "They DO have a common
theme. Evergreen; Green and Gold,
and Gateway - 3 G's."
"That's quite a G-string!" YAC
OWAR exclaimed. He also maintained, that the whole idea of a common theme was "illogical, purposeless, and immature".
MULHOLLAND suggested that
Council was obligated to set up such
a Committee, as the idea was approved in principle at last Friday's
Student Affairs meeting. This Committee, consisting of OKAZAKI,
NORMINTON and MULHOLLAND was set up.
MISCELLANEOUS
BESSELL called the division of
Council (over the matter of Spring
Elections) atthe Student Affairs meeting a "farce".
8 By-Law Amendments were given
1st reading. MELANSON noted that
15 By. Law Amendments have already been passed, and advised
Councillors to look out for inconsistencies. MELANSON also advised Councillors to do their "homework" and study the amendments
being presented for 1st reading.
